XMM-Newton Phase II RPS Users Manual

5.5 Producing a PDF version of the proposal

At this time (i.e., when all XRPS forms have been filled-in completely and correctly), it is also possible to create a PDF version of the proposal by pressing the ''PDF Version of Proposal'' button. This allows users to view/print or download to their home sites a PDF version of the proposal. Doing this serves two purposes:

1. The PDF output provides the user with a control printout for checking inputs once again.

   Provided the proposal has not yet been submitted, it is still posible to go back to any of the proposal pages to change, add or delete information. The new version of each page must be committed to memory again before proceeding to the next step.

2. The PDF file serves as the author's copy of the proposal. The final PDF version will also be e-mailed together with the acknowledgement of submission back to the PI.

Note that this PDF version of the proposal will contain only the XRPS forms, not the scientific justification.
